Just to give out a translation on the text to hold us over until we get a better one from @xueyue2...

"Release the MAD KING! MX-4 Abaddon Premium humanoid purple chest, gun-shaped white chest 360 degrees without dead ends, high-definition restoration, non-mirror deformation of the pinnacle of the work."

@divinecomedy First there was nanometer paint, now we have high-definition restoration and non-mirror deformation!

Seriously though, since I never got my hands on Sovereign and if this ends up being a well-built release, count me in.

 

If Takara were to announce Galvatron at the same time, well Keith will have a lot of plastics for his chairs.

 

If.....

If this has butterfly shoulders and and ab crunch....

If Springer is a return to form.....

I'm in. Sovereign looks nice on the shelf but, as with usual FT, his articulation is limited in today's climate and he's wooden as fuck.

Oh and give him off white thighs and elbows please. Not silver.

Now the wait.

 

Google Translate provides high quality humor.

 

You did post that link for me, and I was still pretty hesitant about buying it because I wanted to see what x transbots will bring to the table. And yeah, I can not see this guy for under $200 more like around $260 as you put it. And that's the other thing too. X transbots need to step up their game in the qc department because it's not going well for them. I'm definitely going to wait on in-hand reviews instead of preording it.

 

I definitely didn't. Sovereign was a fine figure but nothing "special" imo. Not fun to play with and I could never get his cannon to stay on properly. I actually sold mine of and replaced him with O&P Big Cannon lol. I'm always interested to see what XTB brings to the table, though at their current prices it would have to be incredible for me to bite.

 

I was wondering what need to be translated here, only 4 characters on the pic, just the "demon lord".

Then I found these from XTB facebook

人形紫胸，炮形白胸
360度无死角，高清晰还原，非镜像变形巅峰之作。

translate to: In robot mode purple chest, in cannon mode white chest. There is no bad angle viewing from all 360 degrees, very faithful to the G1 image, top-notch masterpiece. (To be honest, all these are BS until we have real reviews for XTB product, also I don't understand what is "非镜像变形", I understand the Chinese words, but no idea what is "not mirrored transformation")

 

Let me guess, ten times the nano’s per meter? $1200?

 

Not mirrored transformation may have to do with Galvatron's assymetrical reasoning? Wasn't that referenced in the DW mtme guidebook with all the bios?

 

Google translate still much better than this facebook translation. It gave up in middle of translation and switched to display in PinYin (PinYin is for Chinese to pronouce the word).

 

Abaddon "Premium". Scary.

 

Premium Abaddoned Product.

 

Awesome! I wonder if he comes with battle damaged critical parts catastrophic failure action like Locke and MM Trailer?

 

I mean, it could be ok right? Nice figure and all....but doesn't everyone kinda have a Galvatron now? Unless you're holding out for an official TT and this isn't that so what's the target audience?

 

Well, at least XTB is not doing Starscream, right? Otherwise it's perfect excuse to melt down while just standing there.

 

I don’t since FT is expensive as hell, and was kinda hoping someone else makes one. Unfortunately the only ones making one is fucking XTB.

 

I am beginning to hate that word. To me, it’s a symbol of everything that sucks about collecting 3p and MP these days.

 

Premium is meaningless if from here on all their products will be "premium".

 

not as worse as "redesign" which translated to "delay and increasing in price, also fxxk your pre-order".

 

Not to mention Sovereign was released then reissued and repainted like 2-3 times before XTB's will come out.
